Hi There! Here is my families actual menu over the next few days! What plans do you have over summer? We have a couple of exciting vacations we are looking forward to! How about you?  DINNERS Copycat Chicken Salad Chicks Classic Carol chicken salad, my broccoli salad, and chips  Hamburger potato casserole and roasted broccoli Hearty Bean dip with tortilla chips and cheese Old fashioned goulash and garlic knots and bean salad The Best Marinated Pork chops, Roasted Garlic butter parmesan cheese potatoes, roasted green beans  Ham egg and cheese English muffin breakfast casserole, and fruit DESSERTS   Raspberry Lemon Cake  Prison peanut butter bars          

I used to believe that pork chops were meant to be dry. NOT TRUE!!   That was before I learned this trick.  Thick-cut pork chops brined in salt water PRE-COOKING are the way to go! I put my pork chops in Tupperware or freezer bag and dissolve ¼ cup of kosher salt in water. Allow them to sit for at least 8 hours. They will come out juicy and so tender! Just pat dry before cooking them hot and fast. Read 400 degrees for about 20 minutes (maybe less) or grill them I promise you will have crispy, browned meat on the outside and juicy pork on the inside. It's so easy you'll wonder why you never thought of it! Try it--you'll never go back to dry pork chops again!  

  This Bacon Onion Broccoli Chicken Rice Casserole is pure comfort food! Creamy cheesy rice, broccoli, crispy bacon and onion with lots of tender chicken in every bite.

So savory with that creamy sauce and crunchy topping this hearty casserole is absolutely irresistible!

These Strawberries & Cream Bars might LOOK like they took hours to make—but it’s a secret between us that they didn’t!  They start with an easy sugar cookie base that bakes up soft, buttery, and perfectly golden.  It’s the dreamiest base for a layer of creamy goodness and sweet juicy strawberries on top. They taste like the best of strawberry shortcake and a creamy dessert bar had a baby.  The cookie base is so rich and homemade-tasting (like it came straight from scratch!)  and the creamy layer is perfectly decadent without being overly heavy. They’re great for entertaining or bringing to a potluck—they’re sure to be your “wow” dessert that everyone will think you worked so hard to make.  Don’t forget to share the secret with me though!  😉
